- B.
Knee Extensors
- C.
Hip Flexors
- D.
Hip AB-ductors
Correct Answer
A. Knee FlexorsExplanation
The correct answer is Knee Flexors because the muscles mentioned in the question (Semitendinosus, Semimembranosus, Biceps Femoris) are all muscles that are responsible for flexing the knee joint. These muscles work together to bend the knee and bring the lower leg towards the back of the thigh.Rate this question:

Biceps Femoris (LH), Glutus Maxmis, Semitendiosus, Semimebranosus
- A.
Hip Extensors
- B.
Hip Flexion
- C.
Hip AD-ductors
- D.
Hip AB-ductors
Correct Answer
A. Hip ExtensorsExplanation
The given correct answer is "Hip Extensors". The muscles listed in the question, including Biceps Femoris (LH), Glutus Maximus, Semitendinosus, and Semimembranosus, are all muscles that contribute to hip extension. Hip extension refers to the movement of the hip joint where the leg moves backward, away from the body or extends behind the body. These muscles work together to perform this action, allowing us to move our leg backward or extend it behind us.Rate this question:

Hip flexors
- B.
Hip Extensors
- C.
Knee Flexors
- D.
Hip Ad- ductors
Correct Answer
A. Hip flexorsExplanation
The rectus femoris, sartorius, and iliopsoas are all muscles that contribute to hip flexion. Hip flexion refers to the movement of bringing the thigh towards the abdomen or bending at the hip joint. These muscles work together to flex the hip joint and allow for movements such as lifting the leg or bringing the knee towards the chest.

Glutues Medius , Tensor fascia latae
- A.
Hip AB-ductors
- B.
Hip AD-ductors
- C.
Hip External rotators
- D.
Hip internal rotators
Correct Answer
A. Hip AB-ductorsExplanation
The correct answer is Hip AB-ductors. The gluteus medius and tensor fascia latae are both muscles that are responsible for hip abduction. Hip abduction refers to the movement of the leg away from the midline of the body. These muscles work together to stabilize the pelvis and control the movement of the leg during activities such as walking, running, and jumping.Rate this question:

- A.
Hip Ad-ductors
- B.
Hip External rotators
- C.
Hip Internal rotators
- D.
Hip Abductors
Correct Answer
A. Hip Ad-ductorsExplanation
The given answer, "Hip Ad-ductors," is correct because the muscles listed, including Adductor Brevis, Pectinus, Adductor longus, Adductor magnus, and Gracilis, are all hip adductor muscles. These muscles are responsible for bringing the thigh towards the midline of the body, or in other words, moving the leg inward. Therefore, they are correctly classified as hip adductors.Rate this question:

Piriformis, gemelli, obturators, quadratus femoris
- A.
Hip eternal rotators
- B.
Hip internal rotators
- C.
Hip Flexors
- D.
Knee Extensors
Correct Answer
A. Hip eternal rotatorsExplanation
The muscles listed, including the piriformis, gemelli, obturators, and quadratus femoris, are all responsible for hip external rotation. These muscles work together to rotate the hip joint outward, away from the midline of the body. Therefore, the correct answer is "Hip external rotators."Rate this question:
